Neilsen advised the group of Hall’s and Minshall’s willingness to serve again, absent any other interest.
He reminded the group of the Committee’s policy of alternating Police and Fire leadership annually.
Hall confirmed his willingness to serve again but urged any interested members to do so. Langdon
asked Hall to speak on the volume of work associated with his position as Chair to which Hall replied
that it has been minimal. Moved by Maatman to elect Minshall as Chair and Hall as Vice Chair,

should the need to meet arise. Stressman concurred with Hall’s position, noting the possibility of
postponing or canceling if necessary.
2.
Ingham County Chief Deputy Controller’s Report – John Neilsen
a.
Update on BOC Action
Neilsen announced the BOC has approved the 2015 wage reopener for both the Teamsters and the
FOP groups of the Center, providing for a 1.5% wage increase.
Neilsen proceeded to inform the group of the organizational assessment kick-off meeting which took
place at the Center yesterday. Dr. Julie Brockman was introduced to the administration and the
Teamster supervisors. Neilsen reminded the group of the intent of the assessment to improve
communication with Center staff via surveys and confidential interviews with Dr. Brockman. The
County’s goal is to have happy and productive employees. The study is to be conducted during the first
half of 2015.
b.
Other
No discussion.
3.
9-1-1 Director’s Report – Lance Langdon
a.
Report on Ingham County 9-1-1 Central Dispatch Operations
Langdon has received requests for statistical information from agencies. He will produce this
information soon and reminded the group of the statistical data offered on 911.ingham.org. He
mentioned the data is not up to date due to staffing changes with the Admin Assistant position.
Johnson located erroneous information, such as training calls, in past reports which skewed the data.
She is working to clean up that data and post it to the web.
Langdon announced the implementation of an On-Call system for Center staff as of January 1st. Staff
members are on call from 8:00-4:00 on either shift in order to keep seats filled as a solution in lieu of
changing to eight hour shifts. Staff volunteer for the on-call shifts. He mentioned the 8:00-4:00 shift
alleviates the issue of staff working 16 hours at a time when the Center is short-handed. The maximum
shift length is now 14 hours. Langdon would still prefer eight hour shifts but the staff prefer 12 hours.
b.
Radio System Discussion
Langdon noted the excellent turnout at last month’s meeting for the Harris and MPSCS presentations.
He has not received any questions from the group, but has himself inquired with MPSCS as to the
number of towers to be utilized and is yet to receive a satisfactory response. MPSCS did indicate the
need for a new tower location, but has not clarified how many of the current towers would be utilized.
Stressman inquired as to the maintenance costs to be incurred in the future. Langdon replied Harris’
maintenance fees would remain similar to the current rate. Stressman clarified his question as being
directed to the life expectancy of equipment currently in place. Langdon stated five years for parts
availability, to which Alford concurred. Stressman asked Neilsen when a decision will be made
regarding the radio system. Neilsen replied the BOC is interested in the Advisory Committee’s opinion.
He also reviewed the cost estimates and budget available to fund the radio system. The upgrade with
Harris would be more cost effective, whereas moving to MPSCS would be costly due to the need to
911 Advisory Committee Minutes 01/15/2015
Page 2 of 4
Attachment 1
purchase all new radios, possibly new towers, etc. He mentioned our current millage is approved
through 2016. If we opt for a more costly system, the local agencies would either have to purchase
their own radios and/or the BOC would need to approve funding for the additional cost. Neilsen noted
he had a discussion with Brent Williams regarding the possibility of hiring him to provide an
independent consultation and recommendation regarding the future of the radio system. Williams has
expressed his willingness to provide a formal proposal for this service. Stressman asked what options
exist in regards to financing the MPSCS system, such as grants and/or negotiation to which Neilsen
replied if the decision comes down to cost, the MPSCS system would likely be unattainable without
grants. Stressman inquired as to whether Brent Williams would be charged with negotiating with
vendors. Neilsen replied that is yet to be determined. Stressman expressed his support of hiring
Williams to consult on the issue. Langdon pointed out Williams’ expertise on the subject would be
valuable. There are several issues we would ask him to delve into, maintenance being one. He noted
the MPSCS system would require us to be responsible for the system maintenance similar to our
current contract with Harris, plus additional mic fees. The overall maintenance costs could be much
greater with MPSCS. Another area of concern is back-up channels, which would be greatly reduced
with the MPSCS system. Communicating with schools may also be hindered. These issues could be
further explored by Williams. Neilsen noted the MPSCS system is currently in the developmental stage
in regards to pagers, which would affect the out-county agencies who utilize them. All of these issues
could be addressed and explored with the use of a consultant. Stressman moved to recommend a
consultant be hired to study the proposed radio system options and provide the Committee with an
expert recommendation. Hall inquired as to whether the consultation opportunity would be open for
bid or whether it would be reserved for Brent Williams. Neilsen replied in this case he would like to
start with Williams because he has worked with the County before, rather than pay a new consultant
to become familiar with the system and its players. However, the BOC may require a RFP process be
carried out. Neilsen also believes Williams’ services would be expedient and economical. Hall proposed
putting Williams’ name in the motion, absent the requirement of a RFP process by the BOC. Neilsen
noted the requirement of a RFP process is uncertain at this time, but that the County will sort it out
should the need arise. Supported by Rodabough, the motion passed unanimously.
Langdon mentioned the lack of a tight timeline in regards to making a decision on the future of the
radio system, with the exception of the City of Lansing desiring to buy new radios. He also noted, in
reference to fire pagers discussed earlier, agencies have been replacing them and/or trading them in
towards new ones. The pagers are agency-owned equipment that the users are responsible for
maintenance on. Neilsen concurred that so long as the equipment is used for public safety purposes,
the County is fine with the local units of government receiving a trade credit.
c.
CAD Update (Mobile Training February, Go Live April 2015)
Langdon informed the group of the progress with the new CAD system, with all phases currently
running on schedule. The police preliminary demo was taking place today and the TIC group is
currently working on scheduling personnel training, coordinating with Frank Chain, who is the Project
Manager for mobile with the County.
d.
Staffing Update
Langdon announced the appointment of six new dispatchers who commenced employment on January
5th. Two additional employees will come on board January 26th and a former employee of the Center
who has expressed a desire to return should be starting the first or second week of February. Another

Attachment 1
candidate testing session was just completed and oral boards will be held next week. The Center
currently has three openings. Langdon expressed his compliments of the six new dispatchers currently
in training. He feels they are displaying exceptional teamwork and he has high expectations of them.
e.
Radio Announcements Policy
Having distributed the draft policy prior, Langdon informed the group of his plans to add the following
verbiage to the Center’s current radio policy, absent any suggestions for change:
8.1
Special Radio Announcement Requests (i.e. retirements, funerals, holiday parties,
training, and meetings) will only be honored if received from an agency Chief or
Command Officer Designee. Such requests must be approved by the 9-1-1 Supervisor or
9-1-1 Administration prior to dissemination.
Cowper expressed his gratitude for the immediate attention to this policy request. He mentioned
listening to a retirement radio announcement Sunday which was respectful and succinct. He feels the
announcements are important and should not be done away with, rather need to be better controlled
and monitored. Langdon agreed on the necessity for the policy. Minshall referenced the
announcements of training and meetings, noting those agencies with Active 911 now possess a new
feature similar to a CodeRED in which a mass message can be sent to a designated group of individuals,
rather than over the radio.
Stressman asked the group if the radio system had experienced any known outages recently to which
Maatman replied Delhi was out earlier in the week and had to call the Center to make contact as outcounty was not responding. Langdon and Whittier both denied awareness of any known outage and
requested more information in order to investigate the incident.
Langdon brought attention to the leak of Deputy Whitaker’s incident, stating the Center did not release
the audio. He informed the group of a website that records radio and stated the media obtained the
audio from that site. Harless noted audio of the entire chase had been emailed to him the morning of
the incident. Langdon reaffirmed the Center did not release the audio and informed the group of the
Center’s practice of reaching out to other agencies for permission to release records when a FOIA is
submitted for a high profile incident or major event. Gaukel noted the County attorney just provided
the Center with an update on laws surrounding FOIA redactions. Cowper expressed his thanks for the
last call for Deputy Grant Whitaker, performed by Emergency Telcommunicator Sherry Larner. He
stated it was very heartfelt and well-done.
Limited Public Comment: None.
The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 19th at 3pm. The meeting location will remain the same.
Meeting adjourned at 3:51pm.
Respectfully Submitted,

FROM:
John L. Neilsen , Chief Deputy Controller
DATE:
March 3, 2015
SUBJECT:
Resolution Authorizing a Contract for 9-1-1 Public Safety Radio Communications
Consulting Services with Brent Williams
Commissioners:
The 9-1-1 Public Safety Radio Communication System used by all Ingham County public safety
agencies will need to be upgraded or replaced as it approaches the end of life for replacement
parts.
The Ingham County Board of Commissioners has asked for input from the 9-1-1 Advisory Board
and Ingham County public safety agencies on the best way to move forward with the 9-1-1
Public Safety Radio Communication System.
Brent Williams has been identified as an independent consultant with expertise and direct
experience working with both the current Harris Inc. EDACS trunked-simulcast radio systems
and with a potential alternative, the Michigan Public Safety Communications System/Motorola
800 MHz digital trunked radio system.
The 9-1-1 Advisory Board is recommending that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners
hire Brent Williams to assist the County in making a decision on how to proceed. These
proposed consulting services for Ingham County are to conduct an evaluation as to the pros and
cons of the various County options for the future of the 9-1-1 Public Safety Radio
Communication System.
This resolution authorizes a contract/purchase order for radio communications consulting
services with Brent Williams to evaluate options for the future direction of the 9-1-1 Public
Safety Radio Communication System, at a cost not to exceed $3,200 from the 9-1-1 Emergency
Telephone Dispatch Services - 911 fund balance to be completed within sixty days of the signing
of the contract/purchase order.
I recommend approval of the resolution.

Re:
Ingham County
[email protected]
Dear Commissioners,
This resolution authorizes the funds necessary to purchase the 6 inch ortho photography for the
2015 Tri-County Digital Aerial Imagery Project for Ingham County.
The State of Michigan has partnered with Sandborn Map Company to fly the Tri-County area of
Ingham, Eaton and Clinton counties. This flight will occur in the spring time, March-April 2015
during the “leaf off” period dependent on the weather. The photo imagery will be delivered in
October 2015. Once the data is processed, either the State or Tri-County Regional Planning
Commission (TCRPC) will deliver the product to Ingham County. Sanborn will provide either
DVD’s or portable hard drives.
Ingham County, in partnership with TCRPC, is receiving a 17.7% contiguity discount on the 12”
base product with an additional savings of $4.90 per sq. mile, from the National GeospatialIntelligence Agency (NGA). Ingham County is also receiving a $5.21 per sq. mile discount for
the 6” ortho resolution.
Resolution #14-483 authorized the Board of Commissioners to use $15,000 from contingency
funds for the participation of the 12” ortho resolution. The additional cost of $32,270.86 will be
divided among the four departments wanting the 6” ortho resolution. Each department will pay
$8,067.72 for the additional cost of the 6” ortho resolution. These enhanced imagery will bring
the total cost to $ 47,270.86.
The funds will be coming from the four departments; 911, Drain Commissioner’s Office,
Environmental Health, and Roads, who have requested the 6” ortho photography instead of the
12” ortho photography from the approved previous Resolution #14-483.
Users of the imagery include, but are not limited to, 911 Emergency Operations, Drain
Commissioner’s Office, Environmental Health, and the Department of Roads and
Transportation.
